Lime or Roblox guys?

I don’t have the TC yet, but any input? So far I’m leaning towards Lime... it’s in SF which is more convenient for me and the view and office is nicer. YOE: 2-3

And seems like better outlook for future growth as well, sure Roblox is cash flow positive but... I’m worried because I joined a 12 year old startup before and didn’t really have a good time :(

Lime

May I ask why? I’d love to hear more opinions.

I just think Lime's market is not comparable to Roblox's. After all, all Roblox only deals with video games (more people would probably say Lime has more impact). For some numbers, quick google search led me to: "video game market cap": 75 billion, "rideshare market cap": 285 billion. Note that Roblox is largely popular among mobile users. And while Lime's market doesn't represent the entire market, it also has an intersection with bikes (debateable). Overall, I think Lime is going through fast growth and provides more opportunities for impact/challenges. I believe Roblox already found their market fit and established most parts.

TC or GTFO

The misconception here is people think Roblox is a gaming company. It's a game and social platform company. It's rapidly growing and it's really in a category by itself. If you're really curious you can DM me.
